8. How to Ride the Scooter
Break-In
During the first 1000 km of running, follow the below guidelines to ensure your scooter’s reliability and
performance.
Avoid full throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
Avoid hard braking.
Ride conservatively.
Throttle Control
To accelerate, slowly open the throttle ○A .
To decelerate, close the throttle ○B .
Moving Off
Make sure the side stand / main stand is up.
Make sure the surrounding area is clear.
Smoothly open the throttle to move off
Breaking
Completely close the throttle, the engine will help slowing down the scooter.
When stopping, always apply both brakes at the same time. Generally speaking, the front brake should
be applied a bit more than the rear.
Never lock the brakes or it will cause the tires to skid. When turning a corner, reduce your speed before
getting into the corner.
Even though this scooter is equipped with ABS or CBS, braking during turning a corner may cause
wheel slip. It is better to limit and do not apply hard braking force when cornering.
For emergency braking, focus on applying the brakes as hard as possible.
CAUTION:
Always open the throttle carefully particularly if you are unfamiliar with the scooter.
New tires are slippery and may cause loss of control, it is necessary to establish normal tire grip in
the break-in period.
